The Board notes that Penmin Botswana (Pty) Limited (which is interested in approximately 41.8 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital and which is connected with Kevin van Wouw, CEO of the Company), refrained from voting on any of the resolutions proposed at the General Meeting, following indications, via proxies, from certain significant shareholders, that they are not supportive of certain of the resolutions. The Company will seek to consult with such significant shareholders over the coming weeks regarding this aspect of the business of the meeting.
